Description: Four tiny elf children living in a Scandinavian forest have adventures throughout the year working and playing with the other inhabitants: fairies, a troll, birds, bats, 4 leggeds, and more. They wear hats of the red spotted amanita muscaria as a camoflage should they need to hide. So we rarely see them, but children, do you think they really exist?
